INTRODUCTION. 

The  family  name  "  Prime"  is  without  doubt  of  Flemish 
origin,  and  at  different  times  has  been  spelled  interchang- 
ably  Priem,  Prime,  Pry  me,  de  la  Prjme.  From  the  year  1179 
to  the  year  1680  there  were  sixteen  of  the  name  who  were 
chief  magistrates  of  the  city  of  Ypres,  in  Flanders.  After 
the  persecution  of  the  Walloons  in  the  Low  Countries  by 
the  Duke  of  Alva,  the  name  appears  frequently  in  Eng- 
land among  the  Flemish  refugees  at  London,  at  Norwich 
and  in  Yorkshire  and  in  other  country  districts  of 
England.  In  the  registers  of  the  Church  Austin  Friars  in 
London,  also  in  the  registers  of  the  Walloon 
Church  at  Norw^ich,  England,  wdll  be  found 
the  same  person  entered  in  different  places  under  the 
names  Priem,  Prime  and  Pryme.  It  is  difficult,  at  this 
length  of  time,  to  trace  the  connection  of  the  American 
family  with  the  English  family  of  that  name,  owing  to  the 
lack  of  care  to  preserve  the  record,  whence  came  those 
who  fled  to  America ;  but  the  effort  may  yet  succeed. 

The  pages  which  follow,  have  been  prepared  and 
printed  for  private  circulation,  and  the  copies  printed 
are  limited  in  number.  It  is  not  known  that  any  at- 
tempt has  before  been  made  to  cover  the  same  ground. 
The  first  attempt  of  such  a  kind  must  necessarily  contain 
many  errors  and  show  many  omissions.  No  one  branch 
of  a  family,  even  in  a  family  so  few  in  the  aggregate,  can 
ever  know  without  error,  all  that  is  necessary  to  make  such  a 
w^ork  accurate  and  full.  The  compiler  of  these  pages,  has, 
by  communicating  as  far  as  he  could  with  all  persons  likely 


to  know,  endeavored  to  make  the  miitter  correct  as  far  as 
it  goes.  There  are  dates  of  births,  marriages,  deaths,  names 
of  children  which  ought  to  be  added  ;  also  the  residences 
of  all  whose  residence  can  be  lea.raed.  It  will  be  esteemed 
a  favor,  if  any  person,  under  whose  eyes  these  pages  fall, 
will  kindly  send,  (without  any  delay),  to  the  conipiier, 
information  in  that  line,  to  be  used  in  any  su^^sequent 
printing  of  the  work  ;  also  informr.tion  of  any  errors  in 
the  work  as  it  now  appears.  No  doubt  many  such  errors 
will  appear.  My  correspondence  in  the  securing  infor- 
mation for  this  work,  has  shown  a  m(:>st  remarkable  lack 
of  appreciation  of  the  value  of  accuracy.  I  have  letters 
from  the  same  persons  in  which  the  same  name  is  spelled 
at  least  in  two  ways,  and  different  dates  of  birth,  death 
and  marriage  given  liy  the  same  writer  as  of  the  same 
person.  In  such  cases  the  nec:3ss?iry  choice  by  me  may 
have  been  of  the  wrong  date  or  oi  the  wrong  spelling. 

The  Prime  family  formerly  of  B-owley,  Mass.,  descend- 
ants of  Mark  Prime,  are  supp<.>sed  to  be  of  the  same  fam- 
ily as  these,  the  descendants  of  James  Prime.  Mark 
Prime  and  James  Prime,  believed  to  have  been  brothers, 
both  came  to  America  together  or  nearly  together,  and 
each  consorted  with  the  same  kind  of  people — emigrants 
w^ho  apparently  came  from  Yorkshire,  Enghmd,  and  there 
is  reason  to  think  that  another  member  of  the  same  fam- 
ily settled  in  North  Carolina  about  the  same  time.  The 
members  of  the  family  descended  from  Mark  Prime  v/e 
know  all  about.  Any  iuf formation  tending  to  confirm  the 
behef  stated,  as  to  the  North  Carolina  settler,  and  infor- 
mation of  any  living  representatives  of  that  family,  v/ill  be 
gratefully  received  by  the  v/riter  of  these  pages. 

The  name  "Prime"  appears  here  and  there  in  other  lines ^ 
which  most  diligent  effort  fails  to  trnce,  and  if  such  be- 
long to  the  family  of  James  or  Mark,  Vmit  fact  has  not  yet 
been  made  to  appear.  It  is  possible  that  the  name  so 
used  by  such,  is  not  in  its  original  form. 


The  sniiiU  immber  of  persons  of  the  name  "  Prime,"  in 
the  ei^hfc  geiieratioDS  whose  uames  appear  on 
these  pages,  is  remarkable,  when  we  regard 
the  much  greater  niimb€>r  in  almost  every 
American  family  of  a.s  long  residence  in  this  country. 
It  may  be,  and  probablj^  is,  a  fact,  that  there  are  persons 
whose  n^mes  should  appear,  whom  it  has  not  been  possible 
to  j&nd.  The  writer  at  times  heard  of  the  name,  at  different 
periods  in  the  past,  as  the  name  of  persons  residing 
in  the  northern  part  of  New  York  State,  also  in 
Iowa,  also  in  Oregon,  who  may  be  entitled  to  a  place  in 
this  recurd,  but  he  has  not  been  able  by  inquiries  and 
letters  to  materialize  thein.  Any  ini'oimation  of  any 
such  persons,  he  will  be  glad  to  receive. 

Blanks  and  spaces  are  necessarily-  left  in  the  record  on 
these  pages  where  no  information  has  been  obtained  of  a 
date,  or  a  place,  or  a  name.  To  those  who  can  fill  these 
blanks,  the  book  will  be- made  more  satisfactory,  and  the 
compiler  will  be  glad  to  have  the  information  which  will 
make  every  part  of  the  record  conjplete  and  perfect. 

Such  a  book  as  this,  often  becomes  of  larger  inter  est, 
when  collateral  family  connections  are  added.  It  is  hope  d 
that  a  few  such  additions  in  the  way  of  foot  notes  and 
appendices  will  not  be  without  interest.

FIKST  GENEEATION  IN  AMEEICA. 

a.  James  Prime,  born  in  England,  was  in  New  Haven 
1638 ;  was  at  Milford,  Com).,  1644 ;  on  the  map  of  Mil- 
ford  (Wcpowang)  dated  1646,  James  Prime  appears  as  a 
lot  owner ;  he  was  made  freeman  1669  ;  he  died  1685 ; 
his  wife  survived  him.  He  left  a  considerable  estate  in 
personal  property  as  well  as  in  lands,  but  no  will  has 
been  found.  A  record  appears  in  the  Probate  Court  of 
New  Haven  Count}^,  of  an  inventory  of  his  personal  prop- 
erty. He  left  children,  one  record  says  three  sous 
and  five  daughters,  but  the  names  of  three  children  only 
can  be  found.

SECOND   GENERATION. 

a.a,     James  Prime,  2d.,  born.  He 

possibly  removed  to  New  Milford,  Conn.,  or  at  least  was  a 
large  land  owner  there  in  1702.  He  ma}^  have  actually  lived 
at  New  Milford  or  at  Washington,  Conn.,  as  tradition  in  the 
family  says.  If  he  resided  there  at  any  time  he  had  re- 
turned, and  was  made  freeman  at  Milford,  Conn.,  171B. 
He  died  July  18,  1736,  being  then  as  is  said  of  the  age 
of  103  years,  which,  if  true,  would  make  1633  the  year  of 
his  birth,  and  would  possibly  mean  that  he  was  born  in 
England,  as  the  first  record  of  his  fatlier  in 
America  is  1638.  His  will  is  dated  September  23,  1732, 
and   was  probated  September  6,    1736,  at   Milford.    His 


6 

wife  Sarah  died  at  Milford,  August  20,  1721;  cliurch 
records  show  that  she  was  admitted  to  the  church  at  Mil- 
ford  January  30,  1694    They  had  ten  children.
